Sea Blush
$2.50 – $240.00Price range: $2.50 through $240.00
Sea Blush is a charming perennial wildflower native to the Pacific Northwest, often found on grassy ocean bluffs, moist meadows, rocky slopes, and along foothills and buttes. Its delicate, light pink blooms give the plant its common name, creating a soft and appealing display in naturalistic gardens and coastal plantings.
While visually striking, Sea Blush has a strong, somewhat unpleasant odor that contrasts with its aesthetic appeal, a characteristic typical of this species. This plant thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, and it is naturally adapted to coastal and foothill environments with moderate moisture.
For gardeners in the Northwest, fall sowing outdoors generally yields the best results, as many native wildflowers—including Sea Blush—require cold winter temperatures to break dormancy and encourage germination. Patience is important, as it can take several seasons, sometimes up to three years, for the plants to fully establish. Once matured, Sea Blush adds subtle color and texture to meadows, native plant gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, supporting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
